NF1E Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 This M-25 with 18.5" LRB/CBI barrel has been in the herd for years. With the other M-25s being posted recently my interest in a different variation got the best of me. USGI fiberglass stock with bipod adapter that accepts either Harris or Picatinny rail units and one of HAWKS selector kits, TNVC cheek riser, Leupold MK 4 3.5 - 10 with TMR reticle and my OSS HX-QD. 338 Magnum TI suppressor attached with a Delta 5/5 x 24 adapter. Finished up new paint job last night topped off with a matte finish clear coat. Going to let her set for a few days for the paint to harden before range session. I have a few choices of patches for the riser which usually generate some conversations. Whatta Hobby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunuckgaucho Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 My vote is the first patch or maybe get one made up that says "Whatta Hobby!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to look into my trademark I have used since the old 110 baud telemodem bulletin board days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The receiver is an LRB M-25 which they produce with dovetails machined into the receiver and their rail attaches to that so no other mount is needed. Bula Defense Systems makes a M-21 DMR with a similarly attached rail. If one wants to go even further Bula makes a receiver XM21 were rail sections are machined into the receiver. Best of the best in my opinion. Whatta Hobby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunuckgaucho Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Those LRB M-25 are gorgeous! Now I want one, question is can I have one brought in as the Canadian rules are pretty crazy right now and in a state of flux. For your viewing pleasure Five unfired still in factory grease Italian recievers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 don't know if I'm missing something, or looking at your pictures of your gun wrong, but these receivers are amazing... ^^^ Those receivers don't look like the receiver on the gun you posted... What am I not looking at correctly here?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I not looking at correctly here?... The rifle shown is built on an LRB M-25 receiver which has rear sight and rail that is fitted to dovetails on the receiver. The receivers alone are Bula Defense Systems XM21s which have no rear sight and the rails are machined as part of the receiver. There are many variations of the M14 available and in my opinion the XM21 version is the most stable for optic installations. Here are a few XM21s that I have built into rifles.
